To all whom it may concern: f l

Beit known that I, RoMULUs CAiiosELni, an Italian subject, residing. at Detroit. county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have l invented a certain new 'and-useful Improvement in Electric-Lighting Fixtures, and declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same', such as will enable others skilled'in the art to which it per- V tains to make and use the saine,.reference being had to the accompanyiii drawings, which form a part of this speci cation.`

' M invention relates to a device for supporting an electric light wall bracket and switch, shown in the accompanying drawings and more articularlyT de scribed'in the following speci cation and claims. Heretofore it has been customary to pro- 'vide a wall bracket electric light fixture with holes adapted to receive the screws or other devices employed to secure. it t-o the wall-an additional opening in the bracket f bein also provided to receive apush button or l e device switch. a

The primary object of this invention therefore is to provide a simple and inexnsive ydevice adapted to secure the wall racket of an electric light fixture to a wall u without punching a plurality ofholes in the bracket for the assa of screws and a switch button, an wit out the employment of screws r like fastening devices to secure it to the wall. f $5 A further object of the invention is to provdean adustable device for supporting the bracket a apted to readil accommodate itself to diierent -forms/ of racket 'fixture construction.

40 With the foregoingiand other objects in vview which will a pear as the description proceeds the invention further resides inl-the' combination and arrangement of parts `and in the details of construction hereinafter `de scribed and claimed it being understood that changes 'may be made inthe precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed without departing ,from the spirit of the same-f In the drawings accompanying this specir ication:

Figure 1 is a side elevation and r sectional view of an electric light wall bracket show- ,V

ing an adjustable fixture for securing the to control the operation of the 'bracket or panel to which is Secured a lamp fixture B.

C indicates a stud of usual construction attached to the wall of the outlet opening upon which is mounted a hickey D, tapped to receive an adjustable nipple E, screwed therein. I l

F designates an electric light wall bracket supporting ixture comprising a air of L- sha ed telescoping plates F", respective y bored to receive the nipple E, and also a flange G* extending from the wall of an electric switch G, of usual construction.

The switch G is rigidly held between the walls of the bracket supporting fixture or yoke F b3' the nipple E, screwed inthe h icke -a justed so as to force the switch tight y against one ofthe walls of the fixture yor oke. /s n f ne of the L-shaped plates of the bracket su porting fixture or yoke 'isv provided with s1 e flanges f, f,- 0verlapping the edges of the other late,-also an elongated slot f', through w 'ch extends-a screw H for securing the plates together when properly adjusted. v

I denotes a nut-overlappin the wall bracket A-screwed upon a nipp e or shank g projecting from the wall of. the switch G to secure the latter to the'adjustable fixture F and thus without other engaging devices i including a yoke carried stalled ;-the switch is then assembled beyoke andthe nipple E a usted to force the switch rigidly against a wall of the. latter.

The wall bracket is then placed in position,-the nut I being adjusted to force the bracket against `the supporting fixture F, thus attaching the bracket securely and without other fastening devices to the wall of the building. y

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. A wall lighting fixture comprising a panel having a rim to face the wall to which the fixture is applied, a support having a art adapted to be threaded upon an outibt box stud and having aswitch holding part near the outer end thereof adjustable in position for adaptation with res ect to the inner face of the panel, a switch aving a casing with a threaded shank protruding through said panel, and a nut at the exterior of the panel threaded upon said shank and holding said panel in position.

2. In a wall bracket, in combination, a panel, a switch, a casing therefor, means serving to secure said panel in position and said casing within said panel, said means y the stud of an said yoke having an arm for cothe inner face of the panel, lsaid outlet box action with `ewitcli casing including a threaded shank protrudin through corresponding apertures in t e yoke arm and 1n the anel, a nut threaded upon said shank drawing said panel against said yoke arm, and a switch operating element protruding through said nut.

3. In a lighting fixture, in combination, a switch carrying yoke member, said yoke member being ada ted to be aiiixed with respectto an outlet ox stud, a panel having a rim adapted to face the wall to which the iixture is applied, said yoke member being adjustable to locate its outer armin accordance with the depth or convexity of the panel, and threaded securin means accessible from the outer face of t e panel to secure the' latter with respect to the oke, said switch being` of the snap type and aving an operating member protruding through said threaded securing means.

4. A wall bracket cluding a threaded member adapted for attachment to an outlet box stud, a panel, a switch casing, said structure including a threaded nip le adjustable with respect to the stud, vsai casing including athreaded shank protruding through the panel, a nut threaded thereon for holding the switch casing against the panel in position, anda switch operating member protruding through said nut.

5. A wall lighting fixture comprising ay yoke includin an inner stud of an out et box, and an outer part adjustable with respect thereto, a switch casing extending between said yoke parts, a lamp carrying panel enclosing the yoke and the switch casing, securing means at the exterior of said panel and clamping the same against said oke, and switch operating means protru ing through said panel.

`it. A wall lighting. fixture comprising a yoke, including ,an inner part carried by the stud of an outlet box, and an outer art adjustable with respect thereto, a. switch casing extending between said yoke parts, a lamp carrying panel enclosing the yoke and the switch casing: said jcasing including a shank protruding t rough the panel, a nut at the Aexterior of the panel threaded upon said shank and clamping the panel against the yoke, and switch operating means protruding through said nut.
